TLP Advisory goes global to support Africa’s growing tech ecosystem

TLP Advisory, a Nigeria-headquartered legal firm focused on Africa’s tech industry, today announced its expansion into the UK, US and Canada.

Having worked with many of the continent’s rising technology companies, including Flutterwave and PiggyVest, TLP Advisory’s expansion will position the law firm as a key conduit between the continent’s technology companies and leading investor markets, enabling smoother capital flows between the regions and providing African entities with dedicated advisory around international fundraising and regulation in Lagos, London, New York and Toronto.

Established in 2014, originally under the name The Longe Practice, TLP Advisory has widened its capabilities to include the tech, media and entertainment industries, specialising in intellectual property, fundraising, and corporate structuring.

Strengthened by its merger with US-based law firm, Ollis Law and registration with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in the UK, the team now expertly guides African companies through navigating complex international regulatory hurdles and complying with corporate governance laws in global markets.

TLP Advisory’s niche market experience and multi-territory expertise makes this journey far easier for founders embarking on expansion.

Africa’s tech industry is projected to be worth $180bn by 2025. During 2020 there was 44% year-on-year growth in African startup fundraising, with 359 equity raises totalling over $1.4bn.

TLP Advisory has been central to this progress and has advised some of Africa’s groundbreaking startups along with VC funds such as Ventures Platform.

As the first startup and venture law firm in Nigeria, TLP Advisory has seen 300% year-on-year growth and supports angel investors, VC funds, corporates and investment banks across additional markets such as South Africa, Ghana and Kenya, and now the UK, US and Canada.

To support the growing and varying needs of its clients, TLP Advisory launched DIYLaw, its self-service legal tech platform, in 2015.

DIYLaw recently introduced a digitized, B2B dashboard which is a first of its kind in Nigeria, simplifying many of the processes required by Africa-focused entrepreneurs to set up and operate smoothly.

The platform makes access to legal services simple and affordable through bulk functionality and smart API integrations with partners such as Prospa and Access Bank.

DIYLaw automates over 20 activities such as company registration, employee documentation and non-disclosure agreements based on location and sector, reducing the legal administrative burden for growing startups.

“It is truly an exciting time in the African tech space, with some of the startups we worked with just a few years ago now on course for immense growth in and outside the continent”, said Odunoluwa Longe, Co-founder and Lead Counsel at TLP Advisory and Co-founder at DIYLaw.

“We are thrilled to continue to offer a purpose-built legal services infrastructure to sustain the incredible trajectory of African startups through our on-ground expert services. We want to be the partner of choice for innovative African companies expanding overseas and international companies looking to protect and commercialise their intellectual property on the continent.”

“We’ve really evolved alongside the continent’s accelerating tech ecosystem and as a firm we’ve facilitated $400m of investments over the past five years,” added Funkola Odeleye, Corporate-Commercial Lead at TLP Advisory and Co-founder at DIYLaw.

“We’re expanding and scaling but retain our personalised and tailored approach to giving clients the best guidance in often difficult regulatory environments. This takes into account how innovation moves faster than regulation, and by creating a robust services sector we can ensure that clients operate without being in breach of existing regulations and are able to comply during complex cross-border operations.”

Demonstrating further commitment to the sector, TLP Advisory were engaged as one of the two legal firms to draft the Nigerian Startup Bill, intended to become a one-stop shop for laws and regulations affecting entrepreneurs in the market.

Their international expansion signals the continued growth of the African tech space, demonstrating the firm is well-positioned to support companies and investors in new markets.

Global MSSPs enable OT cybersecurity firm Radiflow to double year over year revenue

Recent headlines and growing awareness are driving rapid growth in the global Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity sector.

Projected to reach a total value of $18.1billion by 2023, according to Research and Markets, OT facilities face vulnerabilities that come from legacy ‘dumb’ devices becoming connected in the same facilities as ultra-modern technologies.

Gartner has recognized the vulnerability of these Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) against increasingly sophisticated attacks, even identifying CPS and OT risk management as a new market. These kinds of attacks can result in the shutdown of mission-critical infrastructures or facilities.

Ships suddenly becoming inoperable near Iranian ports, the Colonial pipeline attack, and the JBS shutdown are examples of attacks that are becoming more common, especially in low-tech OT facilities, where a push for advanced industry 4.0 connectivity are creating potential vulnerabilities. In 2020, the FBI recorded 791,790 attacks, jumping 165% since 2016.

“Companies today require a single view and control point for both IT and OT environments- including an integrated Security Operations Center (SOC)” said Tony Velleca, CEO at CyberProof. “Radiflow’s unique technology integrated into CyberProof’s Managed Detection and Response services via their SaaS-based SOC services delivery platform, will enable a single, transparent view of converged IT-OT security operations as attackers seek to leverage IT networks to access OT assets.”

Standardization & legislation, such as IEC 62443 or the NIST Cybersecurity Framework led by the U.S. and the E.U., are pushing the industrial sectors to adopt structured processes for designing and implementing OT cyber-security.

To meet this demand with low financial risk, Radiflow has partnered with enterprise-level MSSPs to deliver holistic managed detection and response services globally.

“OT facilities can’t suddenly stop operations to assess vulnerabilities; that’s why IBM Service Providers can partner with Radiflow to assess, develop, implement, and manage complex facilities,” said Lee Harris, MSSP Sales Leader, EMEA at IBM. “With their latest release of CIARA, we can create mirrors of full OT networks and supply chains, allowing us to secure clients’ critical infrastructures without impacting their productivity.”

Working with facilities for over a decade, Radiflow has experience meshing various vendor softwares and connected edge devices into a single network. “Now, we rely on a cloud-based multi-facility approach, since trying to secure each device is a fool’s errand,” said Ilan Barda, CEO of Radiflow.

So, while 2021’s total number of attacks remains to be tallied, new solutions are helping companies protect against this rising problem.

About Radiflow

Radiflow is an OT Cyber Security company that has unique tools to protect and manage digital assets for the long term.

They work directly with Managed Security Service Providers to oversee the discovery and management of all relevant data security points.

Their unique pinpoint approach brings the businesses’ team into the fold, trading the industry’s one-size-fits-all approach for a calculated, focused, and secured system without inhibiting communication or productivity.

With offices in Europe and the US, Radiflow’s solution is installed in over 6000 sites around the globe.

WhatsApp stops working on iPhone 6 starting today

WhatsApp stops working on iPhone 6 and users have taken to Twitter to express their “grief”. WhatsApp announced a list of smartphones for both Android and iOS that were no longer going to receive their support and services.

WhatsApp keeps on updating its application for the various Operating Systems to enhance its security and privacy and it comes as no surprise that devices running older versions of iOS and Android OS will be a concern for the Meta-owned company.

Over the years, WhatsApp has received a lot of backlash with issues raised over privacy concerns and security. WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the most popular messaging apps, especially in Ghana.

From today, November 1, 2021, WhatsApp will stop on devices running on Android 4.4 and older.

Smartphones such as iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, and iPhone SE (1st generation) will stop supporting the messaging app.

Twitter users are having a field day with this new development by trolling iPhone 6 users. One user wrote:

Dm if u wanna to swap ur iPhone 6 for Gobɛ or sell am 5 cedis

— Amegason (@Amegason1) November 1, 2021

 Another user also wrote:

While this might be “sad” for most users, it does not stop the majority from making fun out of it. We will keep you posted on any new development in relation to this.

DeFi: Who decides what good is?

It happens all the time—you search for anything in Google or Apple Store and get millions of suggested results as if you had time to go one by one and find what’s really best for you. Sometimes they even get it right, provided that you are in the right country, but it may not always be the case.

Meanwhile, as the crypto-verse evolves, major search engines have become blockchain play stores as the main source for DeFi apps listings. But, is that what crypto users need? Is a generic search engine good enough to satisfy the sophisticated needs of DeFi users?

People tend to believe that search engines have all the answers. A search engine, be it a web page or an application, often leads to millions of results here and there, seemingly good enough for us to conclude that we are using the right tool—one that provides us with all the options we need.

This is enhanced by the immediacy with which we operate on a daily basis, surrounded by an infinite number of tailored ads, instilling in us the presumption that what is suggested at the top of the search results should be exactly what we are looking for.

And if it isn’t, those who are navigating in the DeFi ecosystem would often assume that it’s probably not worth investing much more time in finding the right dApp mobile app or tool, simply, because it most likely hasn’t been created yet.

Users should be aware that if they expect the first result to be the correct one, then they should be ready to be misled. In a way, this idea seems to corroborate Segal’s law:

“A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.”

The problem is that when looking for a dApp, you not only want the right one but you need the perfect one—not something that is just okay.

What a Trendy App for Crypto Is Not

The problem with being sure about things is not knowing whether you have asked yourself the right questions or if you have questioned yourself enough. With an ecosystem that is just evolving and becoming mainstream, how can we be sure that the dApp listing we find at first is the right one?

Search engines are designed to deliver results. That is, they deliver suggestions to you and visible monetary results to the company paying to be shown first. Not to forget the financial gains a search engine company earns through the sale of advertising positioning.

This conflict becomes even more evident when the subject of our query is very specific and not a generic search, as we meant to address in the example above. In this case, the list of results is made with the highest bidders and not the best possible results.

Interesting, but probably unfair to users who are exposed mainly to paid positioning listings. Trusting a search engine, such as a dApp store, that works around a conflict of interest seems a really bad idea.

You Are Ranked

Numbers speak for themselves. The search engine industry generated $1.3 trillion dollars in 2020 alone. This amount explains why companies get remunerated for ranking results. However, justifying this to the user who receives nothing for this transaction is far more complicated.

Every click is money except for the person clicking the mouse.

Everyone knows that anyone can promote anything with enough money, and because of how unfair this is to startups, a parallel industry has emerged.

We are talking about Search Engine Optimization techniques that enable projects to be featured as relevant in dApp listings even if they aren’t blessed with substantial funding.

This is very common in emerging sectors such as DeFi. And this takes us a step further—how reliable a search result is for a user looking for projects to invest in?

In this sense, no one in their right mind would let marketing campaigns or a sacrosanct algorithm drive their investments.

This modus operandi cannot replace a thorough analysis made of impartial, external audits and the convincing criteria provided by like-minded, real users who endorse a project’s functionality.

A Crypto App Store as It Should Be

It is in this scenario when lists of dApps ranked by real people become useful. This is the approach taken by MagicSquare, a crypto app store made for and by the crypto community.

The MagicSquare platform aims to provide users of any level of expertise with guidance to choose projects that are tested and ranked by the community and not listed first because of the money companies can pay.

In that way, MagicSquare ensures that the marketing budget is not all a dApp can have. By allowing the community to validate the solutions dApps intend to provide, MagicSquare lets users find promising DeFi tools based on proven functionality.

The applications listed in this DeFi search engine are also verified by the platform itself, thus ensuring that they are always legit tools for users.

As a validated app store, such an initiative is likewise positive for the integral development of the DeFi ecosystem as it supports and highlights the solutions and projects that really bring value to the sector.

Community Chosen Good Crypto Applications

In a way, replacing a traditional search engine system with one based on the criteria of thousands of users might seem to complicate things. Referring to our initial analogy, it is like pretending that a person with many watches could be more sure of what time it is.

In reality, a person with a thousand clocks has more sources to base his criteria on and decide what the time really is for them, whereas the person who has only a single clock is left to rely solely on the time that the clock says it is.

DeFi users, especially the new ones, shouldn’t be taken hostage by major search engines that have not yet collected all the necessary input to truly offer the best results. There’s no doubt that only a dedicated blockchain play store could do that.
